The UGV is a multi-mission capable unit that can be reconfigured to enhance mission effectiveness. Integrating battlefield-tested robotic systems featuring a controller platform and a modular mission payload. It can be configured with cameras, day/night infrared (IR) or thermal imaging systems to perform missions during the day and night for best visibility under any conditions. The command and control of the UGV is handled using a tactical robot controller.

The Unmanned Ground Vehicle adds an extra layer of protection and support for your boots on the ground. It is extremely effective in Urban and Suburban terrain.
